Days 2&3: The cow goes MOO

Hey folks.  Over the past two days we have seen more farmland, ranches, horse farms  I am here to tell you there is no shortage of land.    Man, you can go for miles and see a shack here and there and then a house may show up. The residents in WY have trees planted around their houses out here so their houses won't blow away.  Anyway we covered 900+ miles over the past two days and not a lot to report.  Yesterday we wound up in Great Falls, MT after 500 miles.  We were all pretty beat and went straight to the bar to wash the taste of the road and cow manure out of our mouths.  The only interesting thing we saw all day was an animal husbandry lesson real close to the road.  A bull and  cow decided that they were made for each other.  I can't blame the bull cause on a scale of 1-10, that cow was an 11.
Now these are mountains
Bathing and laundry day.
Today we moved further north and made it all the way to Banff, Alberta, 400+ miles.  Wow these mountains are spectacular.  We went out for Pizza and took a walk downtown.  But the best was that we had our own hot tub in our room.  Just what the Dr. ordered.  I gotta get one of these at home.  Here's a travel tip.  When you have a hot tub in your room, add shampoo or laundry soap and let er' rip.  Now you can take a bubble bath as well as bring in your dirty laundry for a quick cleaning.  Tomorrow, if I get outta the tub, we head further up into the mountains and lakes.  It should make for some beautiful pictures, finally.
Luckily we have had great weather.  The locals tell us this is the best weather they have seen in weeks.  Looks like our timing is good.
